    Aboda boda is a motorcycle(motor bike) that functions as a taxi ,carrying up to 3 people.

    Many travelers ask what clothes they are supposed to bring to Uganda. Of course, it depends on what you're most comfortable in.

Colorful dresses, good jeans, branded shirts, shining shoes; Ugandans like to look good. It's possible to wear short clothing like skirts, dresses and shorts, just leave your sexy hot pants home. At the accommodation, you'll probably want to wear thin, short clothing and flip-flops. Keep in mind that items are cheaper here and that you can even have your custom clothing tailored here. You will pick a fabric and explain or even draw what you would like to have (jumpsuit, trousers, jacket) and voila: your personal design clothing.
